Sanctioned Substance Use Assessment

The Substance Use Assessment aims to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where students can openly discuss the challenges and impacts of substance use.  

These individualized, one-on-one sessions are designed to understand how substance use might affect your personal and academic goals and to offer tools, resources, recommendations, and referrals for appropriate care and support. 

If you have been required to complete a Substance Use Assessment by the Office of Student Support & Accountability, please visit our Transact site to pay the $125.00 fee. Payment must be completed before you can schedule your first session. For questions regarding payment or the assessment process, contact us at caps@msu.edu

 If you have been required to complete a Medical Amnesty Substance Use Assessment, please visit our Transact site to register

After making your payment, call 517-355-8270 to schedule your initial appointment with MSU Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). Please note that these appointments are held in-person. If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from attending in person, inform the healthcare assistant when scheduling. 

You will receive a reminder on the day of your appointment with instructions for completing brief assessment forms.
